Roomark: Patty 9.9.08

Our living room and favorite spot in the house. I love the mix of wood tones and contrasting textures. The palette is neutral with a splash of orange/reds for a dramatic appeal.

The fireplace was designed by me. I had them tear down the original, more traditional style fireplace and in turn sketched out a more modern version made entirely out of cherry wood and granite. The artwork above the mantle is my original artwork too, printed on my desktop inkjet printer and mounted on wooden IKEA frames. The bookcases (from World Market) showcase my collection of vintage cameras and some artifacts collected during our travels. I am in the process of redoing all of the pillows for our couches out of my own fabric... here's a sneak: //modkidboutique.blogspot.com/2008/09/gettin-antsy-i-looked-outside-my-window.html
